PAGE EIGHT THE TIMES-LEADER, McLEANSBORO, ILLINOIS OCTOBER 20, 1955 Many Reasons Why Farmers Should Us eLime There are many reasons why farmers should use lime. Undoubtedly, the best reason is that it pays off handsomely in profits to the farmer. Much experimental data is available in the national agricultural college and experiment stations, showing ithat for every dollar spent for lime from $3 to $15 are returned to the farmer in profit through increased yields and. better quality crops. In order to get the maximum benefits from liming (the soil however, farmers must remember that applying all of the recommended cultural and conservation practices result in the greatest profit.

Besides lime, these practices include fertilization, crop rotation, terracing, using good seed, proper seed bed preparation, etc. Doing any of those will result in bigger and better crops, but the highest re- iturn comes from doing the complete job. Farming is becoming more and more scientific. The guesswork is being taken out. Farmers can eliminate some of the guesswork from their soil treatments by taking representative soil samples and sending or taking them to their County Agent, County ASC Committee, lime distributor, fertilizer agent, or the State Agricultural College for anallysis.

This should be done well in advance of the planting season to permit pre cessing the samples before the results are desired. The rcommend- ations of trained agronomists should then be folowed in treating the soil for the crops intended to be planted. Our Great America -ft MtyM Liming the soil furnishes calcium and magnesium for the crops and these are transmitted to the consumers, resulting not only in bigger crops and profits, but stronger and healthier bodies. Liming makes nitrogen and phosphorus available. It favors beneficial soil bacteria which reduces the effects of harmful ones.

It reduces toxic soil conditions, assists in controlling soil erosion and results in better physical soil conditions.

SKINLESS Letter to The Editor Boughton, October 18, 1955. The Times-Leader, Inc. McLeansboro, Illinois. Dear Sir: Having checked your publication of my Annual Financial Statement of District No. 99 with my carbon copy, I find that you made the following errors: You listed receipts from County Supt.

of Schools, State Aid (School Lunch) as $1,323.78. It should have been $1,232.78. In disbursements under Legal services you listed Deborah Gholson as having received $399.00. It should be $399.96. Also the notary public was Dwight Miller (an associate of Hamilton County Bank).

You listed it as Dorothy Miller. Furthermore at the end of the report you mispelled my name. It is Deborah instead of Debora. These errors could cause me trouble and it is embarrasing. This has been my first year and experience as School Treasurer and I have put forth a lot of effort to be efficient.

How ever I reaize we all make errors but I feeQ I deserve a correction notice at once in a place that is easily visible to all readers. Sincerely, Deborah Gholson, Treasurer of Broughton Community Consolidated School District No. 99. EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to flhe amount of work and copy prepared for the Centennial Edition, the above mentioned report apparently was printed before corrections were made. We regret the errors and apologize for any embarrassment we caused Mrs.

Gholson. We thank her for pointing out the mistakes so we could call them to the attention of our readers. RWE. Part of 1,000 Volunteers III. Drivers Subject to State License Law Springfield, "action by his office today prompted Secretary of State Charles F.

Carpentier to point out to Illinois motorists that they are subject to the Illinois Drivers License Law when driving out of this state. In the last announcement of revocations by Secretary Carpentier, it was revealed that two Illinois drivers lost their licenses for driving while intoxicated out of the state of Illinois. "The law states," said Secretary Carpentier, "that the Secretary of State is authorized to suspend or revoke the license of a driver who 'has ben lawfully convicted of an offense in another state which if committed within this State would be grounds for suspension or revocation."
